SPORTING BOUNCES BACK TO KEEP PACE IN WEST

PULIDO RETURNS AFTER MISSING TWO MATCHES

Following a 2-1 loss to Seattle last Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park in a clash of the top two teams in the Western Conference, Sporting Kansas City bounced back with an impressive 3-1 road win at FC Dallas on Wednesday at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. A brace from Daniel Salloi and a penalty from Johnny Russell improved SKC to a perfect 6-0-0 this year in matches immediately following losses and kept Sporting within two points of Seattle at the summit of the Western Conference.

Sporting Kansas City forward Alan Pulido returned to the field for Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, entering in the 78th minute of the club’s 3-1 victory in Dallas. The Mexican international, who had missed each of the team’s two previous matches while hampered by a sore knee, was an MLS Newcomer of the Year finalist in 2020 with six goals and five assists in 12 appearances. In his sophomore season, the Designated Player has contributed eight goals and three assists in 20 games to date in 2021. Pulido’s return comes with seven games remaining in the regular season, which concludes on Nov. 7 with Decision Day as the postseason field is cemented for the MLS Cup Playoffs from Nov. 20-Dec. 11.

BEST RECORDS IN GAMES AFTER LOSSES (2021 MLS REGULAR SEASON) Sporting KC: 6-0-0 (3.0 points per game) Nashville SC: 3-0-0 (3.0 points per game) Colorado Rapids: 3-0-1 (2.5 points per game) New England: 2-0-2 (2.0 points per game) New York City FC: 5-2-2 (1.8 points per game)

RUSSELL STAYS ON THE SCORESHEET, EXTENDS STAY IN KC

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell converted a penalty in Wednesday’s 3-1 road win at FC Dallas for his eighth goal of the season and in doing so, the club’s 31-year-old captain became only the fifth player in Sporting history to score in four consecutive regular season matches. If Russell manages to score again versus Houston on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park, he would join Preki as the only Kansas City players to score in five straight.

SPORTING MAKING STATEMENT WITH MULTI-GOAL WINS

SALLOI CALLED UP AND NAMED MLS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Sporting forward and MVP candidate Daniel Salloi is returning to the Hungarian National Team for the upcoming FIFA window. Salloi will join the Magyars for a pair of World Cup qualifiers in Group I of the UEFA region. Hungary will host Albania on Oct. 9 at Puskas Arena in Budapest before traveling to London to face England on Oct. 12 at the iconic Wembley Stadium. Both matches will kick off at 1:45 p.m. CT. Salloi collected three caps for Hungary during the September FIFA window by coming off the bench in World Cup qualifiers versus England on Sept. 2, Albania on Sept. 5 and Andorra on Sept. 8.

On Thursday, Sporting announced that the club has re-signed Russell to a new contract through 2023 with an option for 2024. Since joining the club in 2018, Russell has recorded 35 goals and 37 assists with starts in 100 of 120 appearances across all competitions. One of two MLS players with 30 goals and 30 assists in the regular season since 2018, Russell occupies seventh place on the club’s all-time charts for goals (33) and assists (30) in the regular season. He has become the fifth player in Kansas City history to notch 30 of each in MLS alongside Preki, Chris Klein, Davy Arnaud and Benny Feilhaber. According to Opta, his 184 chances created and 171 dribbles completed both rank in the top five among MLS forwards dating back to 2018.

Salloi was voted MLS Player of the Week on Thursday after his two-goal performance in the club’s 3-1 road win at FC Dallas. Salloi becomes the first Sporting player to be named MLS Player of the Week in 2021. The 25-year-old has 15 goals and six assists this year, the third most goal contributions in the league. His 15 goals also rank third best in MLS, two shy of Ola Kamara in the race for the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi with seven games remaining in each player’s regular season campaign.

PETER VERMES POISED TO CLIMB MLS COACHING CHART

Now in his 13th season on the sidelines for Sporting, Sporting Kansas City Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes is the longest-tenured head coach in MLS and the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. His 168 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history, one shy of Dominic Kinnear.

Notably, Salloi’s 15 non-penalty goals are most in Major League Soccer, two more than any other player, and the Hungarian international is now on the cusp of breaking two records: most non-penalty goals by a Homegrown Player in a single season (16 set by Gyasi Zardes) in MLS history and most non-penalty goals by a Sporting KC player in a single season (16 set by Dom Dwyer). With 15 goals in 25 appearances, Salloi currently sits fourth on the club’s single-season goal scoring chart and his 30 career MLS regular season goals are 10th most in team history.

WINNINGEST COACHES IN MLS REGULAR SEASON HISTORY 240 wins | Sigi Schmid (1999-2004, 2006-2018) 238 wins | Bruce Arena (1996-1998, 2006-2016, 2019-present) 179 wins | Bob Bradley (1998-2006, 2018-present) 170 wins | Dominic Kinnear (2004-2018, 2020) 169 wins | Peter Vermes (2009-present)

POSTGAME PV: “I’M PROUD OF THE GUYS, VERY PROUD”

On earning two wins in Dallas this year... “It was a good mentality from the game on the weekend where we came out of that game with a loss and had to respond. I thought the guys responded well. It’s not an easy place to play. The guys have a good mentality. I’ve always said that you have to have purpose behind the way that you play. I think tonight it was a couple things. It was purpose, it was effort and it was intelligence at really opportune times within the game. There were times we were excellent in possession. There were times where we went on the counter. We showed that we have the ability to get behind teams. We’ve done that many other times, too. Tonight I thought the guys recognized in the first half that they went to five in the back. We moved the ball really well possession wise. In the second half, they went to four in the back. Then we started getting in behind them and caused the penalty kick. Khiry (Shelton) had unbelievable movement off the ball. It was a great ball into space that eliminates guys and it was a foot race, kind of like in LA. The only thing they could do was tackle him from behind and that’s obviously what caused the penalty and the red card. It has a lot to do with movement. It has a lot to do with effort and intelligence. It was an all around good game for us. I’m proud of the guys, very proud.”

SPORTING, KC NWSL TEAM UP FOR H TOWN TAKE DOWN

Sporting will look to complete the “H Town Take Down” as KC NWSL hosts the Houston Dash on Saturday before SKC hosts Houston Dynamo FC on Sunday. KC NWSL goalkeeper Adrianna Franch will be in attendance at Children’s Mercy Park to lead the “I Believe” chant at kick off. Franch, a member of the U.S. Women’s National Team, will return to Children’s Mercy Park on Oct. 21 as the USWNT plays Korea Republic in an international friendly. In the buildup to the match, Children’s Mercy Park will host a media event on Tuesday, Oct. 5 featuring USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski, Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes and KC NWSL head coach Huw Williams.

On saving players legs with the man advantage... “That’s a really good point. The other thing too is the weather here was actually pretty good tonight. It was in the low 80’s at best and very little humidity. It was a game where we didn’t have to expend a ton of energy. That part was really, really good.” 4

Sporting KC Game Notes | October 3, 2021 vs. Houston Dynamo FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is in his 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 203 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 169 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

With over 13 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present).

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager.

Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team.

During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool.

Harris was the 13th Homegrown Player to emerge from the Sporting Academy. He made his MLS debut on May 12, 2021 in a narrow loss at Houston Dynamo FC before earning his first start on July 21, 2021 at home vs. San Jose.

Harris was the top-scoring teenager in American professional soccer in 2019, finishing the year with 12 goals in 25 USL Championship appearances. His dozen goals - which included a run of 10 strikes in his final 11 appearances - equaled the league’s singleseason record for a teenager.

Harris became the youngest USL Championship player to eclipse 20 career goals in 2020. In three USL Championship seasons with Sporting II, Harris has started 39 of 56 appearances and averaged 0.64 goals per 90 minutes played. The forward bagged a team-leading eight goals under head coach and longtime Sporting midfielder Paulo Nagamura in 2020 while playing in every game of the abbreviated 16-game season.

A native of Los Angeles, Harris had prolific stints in the Seattle Sounders FC Academy and Real SoCal Academy before moving to Kansas City. During the 2017-18 season, he led the Sporting KC U-19s with 18 goals in 17 league appearances. On the international stage, Harris has represented the United States at the U-16, U-18 and U-20 levels.

He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem. Kinda has three caps for the senior Israeli National Team, making his debut on June 5, 2021 when he scored the final goal in a 3-1 friendly win over Montenegro.

Sporting Kansas City (5-2-1; 16 pts.) 3-2 Houston Dynamo FC (3-3-2; 11 pts.) MLS Regular Season – Week 7 Children’s Mercy Park – Kansas City, Kansas Attendance: 20,086 SCORING SUMMARY

THE LAST TIME THEY MET KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Saturday, May 29, 2021) – Houston Dynamo FC dropped a 3-2 result to Sporting Kansas City this evening. The match was played in front of a capacity crowd at Children’s Mercy Park, the first such game for the Dynamo since March 7, 2020, also in Kansas City. Houston scored the opening goal of the match against the run of play in the 14th minute, beginning with forward Fafa Picault stripping the ball off defender Ilie Sánchez near the end line. Picault’s cross found forward Maxi Urruti inside the box and the forward laid the ball off to midfielder Matías Vera for his first goal in MLS. Kansas City equalized in the 52nd minute off a free kick from Gianluca Busio. The midfielder scored from outside the box after his effort went over the wall and dipped just inside the top corner of the near post, caroming across the goalmouth and over the line. The home side took the lead in the 61st minute following a penalty kick from forward Alan Pulido. Kansas City was awarded the spot kick after Dynamo captain Boniek García was whistled for a foul on Pulido just inside the box. Sporting scored their third goal of the half four minutes later after Busio found Gadi Kinda inside the box for his third goal of the season. Urruti scored his fourth goal of the season in stoppage time to make it 3-2 in the waning moments. The Argentinian striker initiated the scoring play in his own defensive third, breaking up a Kansas City pass. Midfielder Darwin Cerén picked the ball up and played it up the flank to forward Mateo Bajamich, who carried the ball into the penalty area. Urruti, who raced the length of the field after forcing the turnover, beat two Sporting defenders to the ball inside the six-yard to tap the ball home. Dynamo goalkeeper Marko Marić made a key save in the first half after he denied Roger Espinoza’s side volley from near the penalty spot. The 25-year-old was called into action again in the 43rd minute to save Khiry Shelton’s header. The Dynamo shot stopper finished with five saves on the night. The Dynamo head into an extended break due to a FIFA international fixture window, and will return to regular season action on June 19 when they visit the Los Angeles Football Club at Banc of California Stadium. That match will be televised nationally on UniMás. The Dynamo return to BBVA Stadium on June 23 to host Portland Timbers FC.

VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY LAST MATCH vs. Vancouver

HOU vs VAN BOXSCORE

HOUSTON (Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2021) – Houston Dynamo FC drew 0-0 with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Wednesday night. It was the fifth clean sheet of the season for the Dynamo and first since a 3-0 win over Austin FC on Sept. 11.

Houston Dynamo FC (5-11-12; 27 pts.) 0-0 Vancouver Whitecaps FC (8-810; 34 pts.) MLS Regular Season – Week 28 BBVA Stadium – Houston, Texas Attendance: 12,114

The Dynamo started the game out strong, with two dangerous attacking possessions in the first 10 minutes. The first chance at a goal for Houston came in the seventh minute. After an extended run of possession in the eighth minute, the ball found defender Sam Junqua on the left flank, where he sent a cross into midfielder Darwin Quintero, whose shot narrowly missed the target.

SCORING SUMMARY  TEAM  Houston Dynamo FC Vancouver Whitecaps FC

The Dynamo nearly scored once more at the end of the first half, when Quintero and Picault found themselves on a two-man counterattack in the 29th minute. Quintero passed the ball to Picault, who could not break free in time to generate a shot on goal. A minute later, Quintero got free for a shot, but his shot was saved by Vancouver goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau.

The Dynamo came out firing in the second half, as midfielder Darwin Cerén found space for a shot just two minutes into the half. Quintero also connected for the first shot on goal of the half, as midfielder Matias Vera found him right in front of goal for a potential scoring opportunity. Quintero’s shot, however, fell into the arms of the Whitecaps’ diving goalkeeper. Quintero led the team in shots with five, the most shots the midfielder has recorded in any game this season. Houston’s best chance of the half came in the 77th minute, when forward Tyler Pasher struck a low shot from outside the 18-yard-box that was parried away by the Vancouver goalkeeper. The ball rebounded off the keeper’s hands and found the feet of Quintero near the six-yard box, however Vancouver defender Florian Jungwirth lunged to poke the ball away before the Colombian could shoot. Pasher, who entered the match as a substitute in the 65th minute, made his first appearance since Sept. 3 against Portland. The next match for the Houston Dynamo takes place on Sunday, Oct. 3 at 3:00 pm CST when they travel north to take on Sporting Kansas City. The match will be aired nationally on UniMas and TUDN as well as locally through Quest Texas 55.

Just two minutes later, forward Fafa Picatult got on the end of a long, downfield pass from defender Maynor Figueroa a minute later and had a clean shot on goal. The ball caught the inside of the far post but ricocheted back to the Whitecaps goalkeeper, who secured possession and staved off the second threatening attack from Houston.

While they created numerous chances in the attack, the Dynamo exhibited stout defense throughout the first half. By the end of the opening period, Houston had generated nine shots to Vancouver’s one. Overall, the Dynamo took 17 shots to Vancouver’s five and limited the Whitecaps to just one shot on goal over the course of 90 minutes.

HOUSTON DYNAMO FC VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY

GAME 29

HOUSTON DYNAMO FC TECHNICAL STAFF HEAD COACH - TAB RAMOS

FIRST ASSISTANT - OMID NAMAZI Namazi brings an extensive coaching background to the Dynamo and holds a USSF PRO License. The former defender started his career as a manager in the Major Indoor Soccer League, earning two-time Coach of the Year honors in 2005 and 2006. Namazi started his international managerial career in 2011 when he became the assistant coach of the Iranian National Team. In 2013, he helped lead Iran to qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Later that year, Namazi was named the assistant coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team before moving on to become an assistant coach on Ramos’ technical staff in the U.S. Men’s U-20 National Team from 2014 to 2017.

Ramos, 54, enters his second season with the Dynamo after serving as the head coach of the United States Under-20 National Team since 2011 and as the U.S. Soccer Youth Technical Director since 2013. During that time, he led the U-20s to the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 and three consecutive quarterfinal appearances. He was also Assistant Coach to Jurgen Klinsmann including the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil where the U.S. team advanced to the Round of 16. Regionally, Ramos led the United States to two consecutive titles at the Concacaf U-20 Championships, including the country’s first Concacaf U-20 title in 2017 with a win over Honduras in the final. Ramos followed that up by repeating as champion in 2018 with a 2-0 defeat of arch-rival Mexico in the final. Ramos was one of the greatest and most decorated players in American soccer history. Playing in a variety of roles in the midfield, the Uruguay native earned 81 caps with the U.S. Men’s National Team and represented the United States in the 1990, 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, the 1995 Copa América and the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Ramos was inducted in the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005. He was named U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year in 1990 and was the Concacaf Player of the Year in 1994 after leading the United States to the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time since 1950.

Namazi helped Ramos lead the U.S. to the 2017 Concacaf U-20 Champions. He was also appointed the head coach of the U.S. Men’s U-18 National Team in 2016. The 53-year old became a professional soccer player in 1988 where he debuted with the Washington Diplomats in the American Soccer League. In 1996, Namazi moved to the MLS on loan to the MetroStars before moving into the Major Indoor Soccer League to play with Philadelphia KiXX. While playing in the American Professional Soccer League, the Utah-native earned the Defender of the Year award in 2001. Internationally, Namazi was part of the 2002-2003 U.S. National Futsal Team.

ASSISTANT COACH - MARTIN VASQUEZ

After retiring in 2002, Ramos began his coaching career at the grassroots level and has steadily worked his way up the coaching ladder. In 2004 he founded the youth club NJSA 04 in his home state of New Jersey, building it into one of the strongest clubs in the Garden State. He joined the U-20 National Team as an assistant on Thomas Rongen’s staff in 2009.

Vásquez joins the Dynamo after nearly nine years with the Real Salt Lake organization and three years with U.S. Soccer as an assistant coach and scout for the U.S. Men’s National Team. The 57-year-old also brings experience as a head coach in MLS, having coached Chivas USA in 2010. Vásquez previously worked with Dynamo head coach Tab Ramos at U.S. Soccer from 201114.

While serving as the U-20 National Team head coach, Ramos mentored numerous future professionals and national team stars such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Paul Arriola, Kellyn Acosta and Matt Miazga, among others. That background of teaching and coaching young players aligns with the culture of development that the Dynamo have created under Senior Vice President and General Manager Matt Jordan’s leadership. Born in Uruguay, Ramos moved with his parents to Harrison, New Jersey at the age of 11 and later to Kearny, New Jersey. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1982 and earned his Bachelor’s in Foreign Language and Literature from NC State in 2001. He is fluent in English and Spanish. Ramos becomes the fourth full-time head coach in club history, following Dominic Kinnear (2006-14), Owen Coyle (2015-16) and Wilmer Cabrera (2017-19). Ramos will assume his duties beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 29 and will be introduced to the Houston-area media shortly thereafter.

The Yahualica, Mexico native began his coaching career following a 17year career in professional soccer across North America. Vásquez began at the grassroots level in Southern California at area high school and collegiate programs prior to his two-year stint as an assistant with the San Diego Spirit of the Women’s United Soccer Association. He remained in Southern California as he transitioned to the MLS coaching ranks. Vásquez held assistant coach positions with the LA Galaxy in 2004 and with Chivas USA from 2005-2008. Vásquez left his post with Chivas USA in 2008 to join the coaching staff at German giants Bayern Munich under Jurgen Klinsmann. The former midfielder returned to Los Angeles in 2010 to serve as the head coach of Chivas USA.
